The Russian Constitution, published in 1993, summed up the mistakes of the Soviet Union in the Cold War and established that the Constitution cannot easily be changed. A careful reading reveals that article 15 of the Constitution states that "provisions of international treaties shall prevail where the international treaties differ from those of the Russian Federation." In other words, the Russian Constitution recognizes international law as superior to Russian law.
Russia should act on the basis of the principle that "international law is superior to domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people." Good international laws should apply in Russia, and the legislative, administrative, judicial and procuratorial branches and other government features should be implemented. With that Russia will be reborn and once again become a legitimate power in the world. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
